Our company, which provides a global service, will assist you in the study of your installations, whether
new or undergoing modification.
If necessary, our technical departments can advise you on the most appropriate choices concerning:
• The widths, in accordance with the outputs conveyed, the grain size and the type of material.
• The position and the appropriate number of drive and tension pulleys.
• The value of the radii of curvature.
• The trough transition lengths
• Conveyors with curves in the horizontal plane.
• Belt turnover
• Determining of the forces in the belt leading to the choice of the appropriate type of belt.

COVER GRADE
SEMPERTRANS® belts can be supplied in a wide range of cover grades enabling most existing standards to be met. The
table below summarises the main grades available. Other grades may be produced on request.
The characteristics of the product conveyed (grain size, temperature, chemical characteristics, etc.) and the operating
conditions determine the choice of the grade and thicknesses of the covers.
